This adware alters the Firefox, Google Chrome, IE and Edge settings to open a lot of unwanted pop-ups on all sites, including pages where previously you ads have never seen. These ads can be varied: pop-up windows, boxes, in-text ads, different sized banners and so on.

Moreover, I want to note that it is not always safe to delete ad-supported software manually, if you do not have much experience in setting up and configuring the computer.
